BBQ Braised Brisket


sick and easy to prepare. great for a bunch of people. your friends will love you for making this. great as a sandwich served on a fat bun with cole slaw and a half sour pickle or as an entree with a side of mashed potatoes or corn bread.

Stuff
  • Big slab of brisket - 3, 4 or 5 lbs
  • Bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce - you'll need 1/2 cup per lb of meat
  • Chicken or beef stock - you'll need 1/2 cup per lb of meat


Steps
  • heat oven to 300 deg F
  • salt and pepper your meat
  • grill on high or sear the meat in a pan for 4 minutes per side
  • put the meat in a baking dish
  • mix your sauce and stock together and pour over the meat
  • cover it and make sure the seal is nice and tight - dont want the liquids evaporating on you or the brisket will dry out
  • get it in the oven and cook it for 3 and half hours minimum...the longer the better - ideally 4-5 hours.

take it out, pull meat out of sauce, let rest for 10 minutes or so on a plate, slice it, serve with sauce and enjoy!
